Fairfax County to Impose Finesfor Running Bamboo
After holding a public hearing in February, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved amendments to the County Code at its meeting on March 22, 2022, that will require property owners to prevent running bamboo from spreading onto another’s property and to take steps to eradicate the bamboo if it encroaches onto another owner’s property. This new law authorizes the County to impose civil penalties ranging from $50.00 to $200.00 per day for violations.
